Final Assignment: We passed this out in class today, as a heads up in terms of what we want you to start thinking about over Winter Break (please, do not work on it yet - just read and start thinking). We are excited to see what you come up with in terms of projects!
Choir Concert: We were limited on time today because we wanted to take the class down to the choir concert to support our classmates who were there, as well as listen to some music from different cultures!
We hope that everyone has a great Winter Break! See you in 2018!
